Quick Visualization of Aam Aadmi Party Donations per District

Update - Check out the New Visualizations of AAP Donations using Google Maps Visualization API
I did a quick scraping of Aam Aadmi Party donations list to get some insights on how this political movement is going on. A quick and dirty visualization on 2 parameters - Number of Donors and Total Amount donated from each district would give a good idea of their support base. Thanks to S Anand of Gramener for providing the district level SVG map of India, I was able to plot the crunched numbers in form of Chorolpleth using D3 and do the analysis. Here is the generated graph -

Observations

  • AAP has support in pockets. Mainly Delhi - Jaipur and surrounding areas, Mumbai - Goa - North Karnataka
  • It has good support in first tier cities of Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad
  • And 2nd tier cities of Pune, Nagpur, Indore, Jaipur
  • A handful of people in other cities which is better compared to regional parties which are non-existent in other states

Disclaimers

  • This is a quick and dirty visualization presented based on public information. I take no guarantee on correctness or completeness of the analysis presented. Kindly use your own judgement in forming any conclusions.
  • The color coding needs to be worked on and is not propotional. So kindly rely on dynamic data presented on hovering the districts
  • The observations are based on donation information. So any conclusions needs to take account of it.

References

  • All the code to scrape the website and raw data can be accessed at Github repository.

  7. That is super cool !

    Can you get in touch with AAP and integrate it as part of their website.

    Another suggestion. Is there a way to 'zoom-in' on the map to see details. ?

  9. Great Job, However Moradabad District is missing in UP. Instead you have shown Phule District. There is no district with the name Phule in UP, and therefore it is showing 0 donors. Please correct it to Moradabad.

    1. Thanks for Input.

      India is such a diverse country, we do not even have an Official English name for districts in the country. Have a look at districts.nic.in and you will realize the problem. The spelling of the district varies on the website and on wikipedia, and every other day districts keep getting renamed based on some Neta or their relatives.

      I tried my best to correct it, as well I will take your input to do the correction.

  13. How about per capita donation graph ?
    That will be much clearer picture of AAP's penetration.

    Per Capita Donation (of district)= total donation (of district)/ District population
